I fear that GitHub review comments will push the traffic unacceptably higher.
(We fix about 100 issues in a 3 month release, and if each of those has 3
review comments, that’s 100 extra emails on the list per month.) Since pull
requests are almost always associated with a JIRA case, I would rather that
only people who have chosen to watch that JIRA case get notified. I don’t know
whether it’s possible to tie PRs to JIRA cases.
That's a very real fear :)
I would assume that it's possible to remove Github emails to the dev
list and instead rely on the JIRA comments automatically placed by the
Github integration. I think the only downside here is that pull requests
could be "lost" if the creator doesn't put a JIRA id in the pull-request
subject line.
I can file a JIRA issue asking if the dev-list emails piece are an
"optional" component of the github integration. Otherwise, I can
un-moderate the chatter (and just set up a filter to not bug me :D)
